I just ordered the mountain biking book to help with some of

Faster backups

Backups come in three flavors: Full – backup everything Differential – backup everything since the last Full backup Incremental – backup everything since the last backup (Full or Incremental) I took the above from What Is Bacula? Most systems use mtime to determine if a file has changed. Thus, any file that has been modified since the last backup will be picked up in the next incremental or differential backup. Full backups are
